I like to give a shoutout to my followers on myIGN a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope all of you beside playing games is joining with your family and enjoying the meal. I want to give you a heads-up on future blogs I'm going to write.

Western games that could make a great anime (currently being written): After Halo Legends, and the announcement of Dragon Age and Mass Effect becoming anime. What other western game could work as anime?

Tale of Two revolutions: 22 years apart: Before the Arab Spring, a similar revolution took place in Eastern Europe that led to the demise of former America's enemy. I will analyze the similarities/coincidences/connection between the Arab Spring and the 1989 revolutions in Eastern Europe.

Hypocrisy in anime dub vs sub war: I'll analyze the the problem in dub vs sub war in anime and I reveal the hypocrisy and I analyze the problem in this stupid and pointless war.

the hypocrisy of game/anime into live-action: I'll also analyze the problem and the debate when video game and anime become live-action movie. Like for example. why do people complain when video game become live-action movie, but don't complain when that game get a novelization which also deviate from the game also like movies. For anime/manga into live-action, why do people complain when US make anime/manga into live-action but never complain when Japan/Asia does it despite some bad one coming out of Asia.

Casino Royale: the movie that would've been in 1967: A lot of you have watch the 2006 version with Daniel Craig, and there was the bad spoof 1967 version with David Nivens (who by the way, Ian Fleming wanted as Bond for Dr. No before Sean Connery was selected). There was a lost script that the 1967 spoof version could've been like the 2006 version but with Sean Connery.

Those are the upcoming blogs, I hope all of you have a good Thanksgiving. Sorry I haven't wrote a blog in a while.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the day that people will never forget. On sept 11, 2001, 4 planes hijacked by terrorists were used as weapon. 2 airplanes were used to smash into the World Trade Center which led to the collapse of both towers. 1 planes was used to smash into the Pentagon, and the 4th planes was crashed near a town in Pennsylvania. It was a day that many American will never forget. It was a day that the American people will come together. Ten years later, the American people of all faith comes together to remember the victims that died on 9/11.

Where were you on 9/11?

I was 14 and was in my last year in middle school. I was in my 8th grade science class and was working lab projects among my classmates. I was just sitting down until another teacher, it was my history teacher, he came into my science class and he turned on the TV to a news channel and this was the first time I saw the image of the World Trade Center on fire. I was taken aback by the image. The news said we were under attack by terrorists and it was the first time I saw terrorist attacking USA. When I saw the images, it was like something out of a movie. My classmate in science class were talking about this and it was an image I'll never forget. After class I couldn't get the image off my head, and I was passing by friends talking and telling them about what just happened in New York. Another friend told me about another plane crash into the Pentagon. I was like "What???" and he told me that a plane crashed into the Pentagon. My head look down and felt sad and anger. Who was attacking America??? After lunch, I heard the announcement that the school was ending early due to these attack, I just heard another plane crashed in Pennsylvania. It was the 4th plane crash that forced the school to close early. After I packed up from school, I head on the bus and listening on the bus radio talking about what's happening in US. I took my cellphone and called my Mom and Dad about what's happening, and they told me they left work and are at home. That day was the saddest day and it's unforgettable. I got home and was glad to see my mom and dad and we were talking about what happen.

Where were you on 9/11 when this happen?

How 9/11 effected me and everybody around me:

I learned that 9/11 bring people together. It shows that people can come together in a time of disaster and show patriotic value. It's not only USA, but around the world people stood with US in solidarity in time of disaster. US has since then improved security and hunting down those responsible for the attack. What we learned from 9/11 is that we will never succumb to fear and terror. People in US are strong and willing to work together to help one another. Unity, values, and solidarity is what kept people in US together.

How did 9/11 effect you?

Islam does not equal terrorism

After 9/11 and because the attacker are Muslim. A lot of people who practiced Islam, or an Arab American are faced with persecution, racism, and hate because most ignorant people are thinking "Islam=terrorism". That is not true, a lot of Muslim here and around the world condemned the attack on 9/11. Many Arab Americans and Muslim organization in US condenmed the 9/11 attack and said the terrorist not only killed people but also hijacked their religion and turned it into a weapon. Al-Queda, and other Islamic extremists are no different from extremists like KKK, Branch Davidans, Timothy Mcveigh, and other non-Islam extremists. They all hijacked and weaponized religion. Islam preach non-violence practice. One muslim group held a blood drive to honor 9/11 victims. Also many Muslims even after 9/11 are still loyal to US and it's been reported in Dearborn Michigan that they overcome the hate, and racism. Also I like to add that the changes in the Middle East as in the Arab Spring is helping reducing these hatred against Arab American and Muslims. To finish ths part, I like to add that there were Muslims that died in 9/11 in both WTC and on the plane and they are innocent. One Muslim was a hero in 9/11:

Abdu Malahi, True Muslim hero of 9/11

This is Abdu Malahi, he was one of the many Muslim that died on 9/11. He was 37 years old of Yemeni descent and he left behind a wife and 2 children. He worked as a audio visual manager at the Marriott at the WTC. He helped evacuated people from hotel when hotel management failed to tell people to evacuate. Malahi took it upon himself to get people out of the hotel. He escorted guests and workers at the hotel out before one of the tower collapsed. One survivor said:

Abdu saved me from the Marriott World Trade Center the

morning of Sept. 11 about 15 minutes before he died when the first tower fell on the

hotel. He was a true hero. Despite being told by hotel management to evacute, Abdu

took it upon himself to run from floor to floor to see if any guests remained. I remember him shouting in

the hallways and taking guests personally to the stairwell to exit before continuing his run. I'll never

forget his face.

The action done by Malahi not only save people but was wiilling to sacrifice one life to save those people. Abdul Malahi is not only a Muslim, but he was a true hero of 9/11 for saving those people. If he didn't get those people out and he died saving these people out. Those people at the Marriott WTC hotel would've been added to the casualty list of people died on that day. Many Muslim readers would agreed with me he's not only a hero, but a martyr for saving these people. As I said, Islam is not terrorism.

Any Muslim readers face racism or hate because of your religion?

Ten years later:

We now honor the victims of people that died on 9/11. The name are now being read at the WTC, 2 monuments has now been set up. One in NYC at Ground Zero, and one in Shankville PA where United Flight 93 crashed. We have seen a lot of changes happening in US and around the world. After 9/11 it was thought terrorism would go up in the Islamic world, but it was actually going down because we now know Al-Queda and other group are attacking Muslim people too in the Middle East. This is why Al-Queda is not of a big threat as it was few years later. In May of this year, American came together as the news of Osama Bin Laden's death came in causing big joy in US and around the world. At the same time, we're seeing a big pro-democracy/pro-freedom uprisings in the Middle East titled The Arab Spring. Most of the peaceful protests in the Middle East are led by Muslims and as you see the protestors are not using terrorist tactic to take down dictators, they used peaceful protests and all they want is change for their countries, and bring down dictatorship (The Arab Spring will be the subject of my next blogs: Tales of two revolution, 2 decades apart). The only violence is used against dictator was in Libya, because Gaddafi was bombing his own people and acting like an asshole. We already seen the downfall of dictaotrship regime in Tunisia, Egypt, and now Libya ending Moammar Gaddafi's 42 years of terror on his people. Peaceful protests is till continuing in countries like Syria, and Yemen. Hopefully, this could lead to a more democractic and less violent Middle East and one that denounce terrorism and Islamic extremism.

I want to say that 9/11 changed the world, and the way people come together at a time of disaster. 9/11 is a day American and probably the world will never forget. 9/11 is a day the people in the country come together as one. I honor these people that died on that horrible day. Thank you and god bless the USA.

For some of you who might be born after 1987, I think you might have heard about this. Today was the saddest day, In Jan 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded just after a liftoff, 7 astronauts on the Challenger died on that tragic day. Today is the 25th anniversary of this disaster. I wasn't born until 1987 (just one year after the disaster), my mom used to work at NASA in Greenbelt, Maryland in 1986 and she was watching this disaster unfold, and it was a shocking and sad day when she saw it. I want to pay my respect to them by writing this blog. RIP Space Shuttle Challenger crew. You'll never be forgotten.

I hope all of you on IGN are having a wonderful Christmas, spending some time with family and friends. I am and I do have a huge Christmas spirit.

Next week, I'll write a blog about film remakes and why is it not a bad thing. I'll talk about how important remake is and I'll shed some light about US remake foreign film, and some odd suprises: foreign countries remake our film also, and that include Asia.

Apparently, as much as I wanted to write my first blog about fanboyism. Sadly, I'm going to be busy studying for my Final exams for 2 weeks. I won't be able to find time to write my first blog about fanboyism until after final exams. I apologize for this unexpected event. But I promise I'll write my first blog after the final exam.
